Bananas, Oranges, Lemons and Confec-
tionery.
-MuCu LABOR WITH LITTLE RE-
WARD. David Carey, OF Wolfe's store,
experienced IN unpleasant disappoint-
ment with stack of lime which he ex-
pected to be the greatest success in the
limeburning line. In the first week of
May he erected the stack and requested
his neighbors desiring llrst-class lime
for white washing purposes to hold
their orders until his lot was ready.
Ills customers, rs we'll as Dayld waited
patiently on the completion of the job.
But 10 when done IL was found to
contain barely sufficient lime to white
wash his own garden fence mot to speak
of his neighbors' wants. The three
bushels of coal and his labor were vast
ed aud the customers had To get the
precious article wherever they could.
Toe bad, Dave.
The turnpike company are filling
up and macadaniZing Penn street. 1t
is necessary Improvement. But the
manner in which it is done is anything
but practical and, as could be seen on
Satur day night, is even dangerous. The
idea of putting pile OF nnbroken stone
In the middle OF the road and leave
them lie over night is ridiculous. 1t
can hardly be expected of the travelling
public to first examine the road ahead
of them on Il dark uight 10 find out
whether or not there are obstacles on
| the public highway. Just such pile
| of sharp rock impeded travel along the
new hardware building aud Wm.
| kreamer, OF Coburn. fell victim TO an
accident which might have cost his
| life. About ten O'Clock he drove down
street To return home when his horse
struck the stone pile and We mt down in
a heap, badly skinning itself iii many
places. The shaft of the carriage was
! broken in twain and the driver flew out
over the front wheel, but fortunately
escaped With slight bruises. IL was an
ugly wreck and Mr.. kreamer naturally
| looks to the turnpike company To pay
the damages caused by the impediment.
TROUBLE NEVER COMES SINGLE
HANDED. The truth OF this proverb
was well illustrated IN the miSfortunes
which befell w. G. Duck, the young
farmer of Smithtown, on Monday
morning. One OF his horses had got
sick and it became necessary TO shoot
/ the beast. To do this he got gun
which had been standing in tho house
for several months, loaded with bird
shot, without being used. He shot off
the gun preparatory to loaling it with
bullet, when the gun bursted and scat
tered the load in all directions. The
barrel struck Clayton's left arm with
great force. Druising 1t badly. Another
gun had TO be procured 10 shoot the SICK
| horse the loss of which is bad enough
in itself. but depending on clrcum-
stances the subject of this item may be
| disabled for work for several weeks.
which is quite an afiliction in this busy
season of the farmer. However few
cases of the kind are so bad that they
might not be worse, and Clayton can
thank his stars that it didn't take his
whole arm and even his head.

TEMPERANCE SIGNALs.-Let moderate
drinkers know that light wines pave the
way for whiskey and rum and moderate
drinking for drunkenness, disease and
death.
Suppose you 90 10 the saloon-keeper and
offer Ia license him Ia sell your son whiskey
for $500 year. oh, you don't believe in
that you don't want il sold Ia your boy.
Then be honest, and don't vote 10 have il
sold 10 somebody clso's bog.
From the ranks of the children there are
60, 900 doomed each year 10 the fate Of the
drunkard if the liquor traffic is continued.
What answer do you make Ia this, We
mothers, who have no interest in the tenn
pcrance cause, ,ye fathers who vote license,
We young women, who marry moderate
drinkers.
Time is so short, eternity SO great, and
the ravages of strong drink so fearful, that
il behoovcs us 10 rise in the might and the
power with which God has endowed us, and
in the name of the perishing, and the God
who cares for them. demand that the traffic
in strong drink shall cease
